District 4-4A Boys 

No. 9 Randall puts clamps on West Plains in historic CISD matchup

For the second time in their first two District 4-4A games, the brand new West Plains Wolves hosted a Canyon ISD school Tuesday evening.

Not only that, but a CISD school ranked in the top 10, and the results played to type.

No. 9 Randall took the early lead over West Plains and never let up, rolling to a 62-37 win in the first ever meeting between the two schools in a boys varsity team contest. The game came four days after the Wolves lost their district home opener to No. 8 Canyon, 47-35.

This one wasn’t nearly that competitive. Randall (12-6, 2-0 in district) took an 18-10 lead at the end of the third quarter and steadily extended it as the game progressed.

K.J. Thomas was steady for the Raiders, scoring 10 points in each half en route to a game-high 20 points. Randall’s Devin Baccas scored 13 points, including eight in the third quarter when the Raiders pulled away for good.

West Plains didn’t have a player in double figures and fell to 10-6 and 0-2.

Red-hot Jones leads No. 8 Canyon to rout of Borger

Canyon keeps producing with its big guys up front, but at home against Borger, Kemper Jones did his damage from the outside.

Jones, one of three Canyon starters standing at least 6-foot-6, hit 7-of-9 3-pointers and had a game-high 37 points to lead the No. 8 Eagles to a 77-44 rout of Borger and stay unbeaten in district play.

The Eagles (12-2, 2-0) have shown that they’re not one-dimensional offensively. That especially goes for Jones, who was unstoppable.

Canyon took a 22-9 lead in the first quarter and coasted the rest of the way. Chris Bryant added 13 for the Eagles. Borger fell to 7-11 and 2-0.
